ah
[Music]
raise your hand all those who
consider that the education system
current needs a change
wow
the education system is a system
social and like that
the education system is a social model
more and as such you can stop having
sense can stop fitting in the
moment in which we are living and if
many of us consider that it is
there needs to be a change in the is
because maybe the education system
current is not current
my way through high school and
several extracurricular activities I
allowed to have contact with guys from
other provinces and other countries and that
showed another face of reality
educational
I first raised
what is happening in the institutions
educational
out there I realized that many times
we go to them simply to render
exams to try and and
but from my point of view we are
returning something much more important and the
process by which we learn is the
process by which we know and
we understand things then this I
leads to wonder to what extent you
We are giving the importance it deserves
to education
we are many who think that the
education is a potential for change
and so many of us think that
there is a change in the education system
because that change does not exist
when we ignore this fact we are
forgetting all those great ideas
that are forming in each classroom
ideas that will shape our future
from my point of view if we forget
of this what it gives us
definitely not very good
in each classroom there is always perhaps
they are writing things
that we learn every time we go in the
classrooms for example we always learn
concepts not if I ask you
what are the primary colors you
surely they will say blue yellow and
Red
but what happens if I tell you that the
last year in a scientific camp
through some experiments with
lanterns showed me that that’s not so
so for the lanterns things
they work differently than in pigments
the primary colors would be blue on
red and green at what time we
we question this
in no
follow the concepts we learn in
school are very important with the
time I realized that things more
important things that I learned in school
they were creative tools and
processing and knowledge those
tools are what allowed me
go beyond to be able to promote my ideas
generate projects but
from my point of view these
tools are not so contemplated
for the education system
Last year something very curious happened to me
in a technology competition in which
they gave us a very weird challenge
we had a pile of garbage a few funnels
some hoses an insulating tape and in
a couple of hours we had to build
a written copy those who use the
doctors every day to measure
our heart rate us that
we had to build a couple of hours
with things that in real life do not have
no connection to see who is
It happens to combine a hose with a
funnel I think
about a couple of hours to build a
stethoscope
this weird thing worked and allowed me
measure the heart rate of a
person with a fairly low certainty
what would happen if every day we
we found with this type of challenges
in schools I would not have to
apply the principles of physics and
math chemistry those exercises
repetitive we have every day
that we have the same in the tests
we could do things like these
how many lives better every day
stethoscopes a lot not what would happen
if we will start to promote those ideas
that start in the classroom we could
build unimaginable things
definitely
over time also that my
questions to the teachers many times
they are basically the answer in no
moment comes this from I want to build
my own answers
Maybe it’s because the education system
often asks us to demonstrate the
fish and at that time the way in the
that we arrived at the fish does not matter if
boto out rod is constructed
if someone else built it
finally I want to see that product
and a very key test that that is so
are for example the machetes because
see if I show you what you want
that shows you already is no matter how
come that the machetes are the proof
key that for educational system not
it matters how we get the knowledge
so
today I have to propose to you that we focus on
the ideas
because I’m sure that in every classroom
a lot of ideas are coming up that
they die in that process of giving me your
product chau
and
we need to seriously consider this
because I’m sure that the ideas that
they are valid today in the world
they came up like this in a classroom
and that’s why today I come to claim for those
ideas that died the educational system
an educational system in which the only
what is expected of you as a student does not
note and approve is nothing more
an educational system in which we
we went back to tell each boy that
he is sitting on his bench
and that guide that had to be memorized
as many times as many
it came that they went before for their place
is worth much less than all the ideas that
he has in his head
I also come to claim these ideas that
they died a system in which we
We forget to tell each student that
can make a change in this world
nobody is born knowing the change that can
do
today
I come to propose these focus
in ideas
how many times do we hear that phrase so
frequent and so unjust that generation
more lost
I would like to hear a
what are we doing for this generation
is being born by this generation
lost the teachers the parents and the
politicians but I would also like
hear from the other side of us the
young people that we are doing to not
earn this label
everything will change when we remember that
education is not an obligation is a
responsibility because that future that
is in danger when we forget about
all the ideas that are forming in
each classroom belongs to everyone but not
it only belongs to all of us, but
we also build it together
let’s let so many ideas that
have the potential to change our
future have died in cages
thank you very much
